Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
-- Martin Luther King Jr

Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil...Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
--Dietrich Bonhoeffer
